The stretched 777-300 was designed as an A-market replacement for 747-100s and 747-200s.[65] Compared to the older 747s, the stretched variant has comparable passenger capacity and range, and is designed to burn one-third less fuel and have 40 percent lower maintenance costs.[65] The -300 features a 33.3 ft (10.1 m) fuselage stretch over the baseline -200, allowing seating for up to 550 passengers in a single class high-density configuration,[65] an arrangement adopted for heavily-trafficked Japanese routes.[126] Because of the aircraft's length, the -300 is equipped with a tailskid and ground maneuvering cameras to aid pilots during taxi.[127] The maximum range is 6,015 nautical miles (11,140 km),[128] allowing the -300 to operate trunk routes previously flown by older 747s
